Last night I was painting my nails, minding my own business. It was around bedtime so I tell Malia to get into bed. I forgot that I left our sock bin on the bed (for those who don't know what that is--it's legit a laundry basket full of socks that all 6 of us dig … Continue reading Conversations with my Kid: Malia (4) and the Ghost

Success or Sanity
